For the second year in a row, the Nevada Housing Division was recognized by US Bank for having one of the best homebuying programs in the country. In 2017, the Housing Division's Home Is Possible program originated more than $1 billion in mortgages and helped thousands of Nevadans realize the dream of homeownership. With this, Nevada was fourth in the nation in production behind only the much more populous states of Florida, Arizona and California.
When it comes to gardening and planting in southern Nevada, things could be easier. Like their counterparts to the north, southerners face some real challenges.
This was a very important Flag Day, as we celebrated it with a special presentation to the 1000th veteran we served through the Home Is Possible For Heroes program, which was created in 2014 as part of Governor Brian Sandoval’s mission to make Nevada one of the country’s most veteran-friendly states.
Nevada’s housing shortage is all over the news these days and much of it can be downright depressing if you’re in the market to buy almost anywhere in the state.

Say you’ve been working a few years, have good credit and have been able to put a little money aside. You like where you live and want to stay in the area for a while. You feel ready to buy a house.

Can a purple door get you out of a work day funk? Will expertly trimmed boxwood hedges increase starting bids on your home? The short answer to both questions? Yes!
There are many reasons to improve the front of your house, also known as its curb appeal. Among the most important — it has the potential to make you feel good every time you see it (like an adorable puppy, without the potty training requirements).
If you’re not from around here, life in southern Nevada may surprise you. We talked to some fellow locals to get their scoop on living in and near a place that non-residents tend to associate with bachelor parties and sales conventions. The truth is, there is far more to Las Vegas and southern Nevada than pop culture would have you believe.
It’s a 24-hour town.
If you are new to Nevada, welcome! We have assembled a few helpful tips and some sage (Get it? Sage?) advice for those who are new to the northern part of the Silver State.
Say it like a native.
